Answer:

80 units

Step-by-step explanation:

v = 1/3 bh

v₁ = 1/3 * b * h₁ = 344

v₂ = 1/3 * b * h₂ = 301

v₁ / v₂ = h₁ / h₂ = 344 / 301

h₂ = h₁ - 10

h₁ / (h₁ - 10) = 344 / 301

344 * (h₁ - 10) = 301 * h₁

344* h₁ - 3440 = 301 * h₁

43 * h₁ = 3440

h₁ = 80

The average amount that a college student spends on a textbook is $205. What is the probability that a students spends between $
garri49 [273]

Complete question :

The average amount that a college student spends on a textbook is $205 with a

standard deviation of $35. What is the probability that a student spends:

A. between $10 and $310?

Answer:

0.999

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean, m = 205 ; Standard deviation, s = 35

Z = (x - m) / s

x = 310

Z = (310 - 205) / 35 = 3

P(z < 3) = 0.99865

x = 10

Z = (10 - 205) / 35 = - 5.57

P(Z < - 5.5)

P(z < 3) - P(z < - 5.5)

0.99865 - 0

= 0.999

Solve for the missing side in the following right triangle: hypotenuse = 17, leg = 8, leg = ?.
krek1111 [17]
Hyp^2 = leg1^2 + leg2^2
hyp^2  -leg1^2 = leg2^2
17^2 - 8^2 = leg2^2
leg2^2 = 289 -64
leg2^2 = 225
leg2 = 15
